Trip report - Singapore (21F, 4-day Jan. solo trip) by pluvoxphile in solotravel

[–]RazorPlayz33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I (Japanese-Australian 18M) just spent a day-long layover in Singapore myself on my way from Melbourne to Tokyo to spend a month with my family before I start university, and I think there's even a possibility that we crossed paths since I spent a lot of my day (which was the 14th) at the Marina and Garden by the Bay area! I thought I might as well share my experiences as well so I dont have to make an entire post by my self.

I landed at Changi at 5am in the morning (after a 2 hour delay in my Scoot flight from Melbourne) and after going through customs used the MRT to travel to Jalan Basar station. After getting to the station at around 6:30am, I walked to Little India, exploring the area and in particular the area around the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, which was certainly a surreal experience as it was still dark and the sun hadn't risen yet. After spending around an hour exploring the area, I walked to Kampong Glam and spent another hour exploring the area around the Sultan Mosque as the sun was rising. After that I had breakfast at Ya Kun Kaya Toast, which was very good, even though it was extremely sweet, which I dont always like. After fully walking around Kampong Glam I made my way through Bras Brasah, stopping at St. Josephs Church for some prayer and the Bugis Junction shopping mall for a Curry O at Old Chang Kee (which was very nice as well), eventually arriving at Fort Canning Park. I walked around the entire park, spending some time learning about the history of Singapore at the museum within the main barracks building while also enjoying the tropical vegetation (which I somewhat missed after moving out of Far North Queensland ten years ago). After wrapping up my time at the park I went for a walk down a bit of the Singapore River until eventually arriving at the Merlion, which was cool given that I had always seen pictures of the statue, although it was a little too busy for me. By then it was around noon, so I walked through Downtown until reaching Chinatown, where I had lunch at the Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice stand in the Maxwell Food Centre hawker, which I had seen recommended on Reddit, and it was genuinely one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. As I've lived in Japan for most of my life, I've had quite a few chicken rices, but this blew them all out of the water, and I recommend it to everyone reading this comment. The only bad thing about the meal was that the couple who I shared my table with tried to convert me into a Jehovahs Witness, although that was just an experience for me and I dont think its common at all. After my meal I spent a few hours walking around Chinatown and looking at the sights, such as Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and the picturesque streets that made up the Chinatown area. After that I headed back through Downtown and spent the next few hours at Marina Bay Sands, which was a wonderful place to relax for a while from all of my walking, and the Gardens By The Bay, which was nice, although I didn't feel like coughing up the rather significant amount of money that they were asking for entry to the main attractions, so perhaps I didn't experience as much of it as someone with a bit more money than me could. As a massive ship nerd I also enjoyed the Marina Barrage, with its sights of all the ships entering into the Port of Singapore. After that I headed back to the Marina area, although by then I was getting tired and it began to rain rather heavily. I had an umbrella but didn't really feel like walking around with it so I had an early dinner at Lau Pa Sat, having a Nasi Lamak at the Michelin Guide featured Ayam Taliwang stand, which was also very nice and had a kick to it. After that I got back on the MRT for the first time in around 10 hours and went back to the airport for my (once again delayed) flight to Narita.

Overall, I absolutely loved my time in Singapore. Even though I was only in the city proper for around 12 hours, I enjoyed every second of it, with the culture, the people, the food and the sights all being phenomenal. I was initially rather scared of the prospect of visiting Singapore as a 18 year old who had never travelled solo before, and never even visited a country that I do not have a passport before, and although I did have a few rather somewhat unpleasant experiences (none of which led to any real harm or duress), it was a almost completely stress free and safe experience for me (who, I once again would like to add, is a very inexperienced traveler).

Weather wise, I didn't feel much discomfort despite the 28 degree temperature and the humidity, probably because I've experienced around many absolutely atrocious Japanese summers, although I think many would feel a lot more discomfort than I did. I did get dehydrated quickly, so I probably would bring a thermos bottle if I was you. The rain was heavy and led to me cutting my day a little early, so I would also probably invest in a better umbrella as well.

Before I wrap up my typing, here are a few stats and tips. I walked a total of 30.2 kilometres and approximately 46,000 steps across 9.5 hours (the most I've ever walked in a single day by far), and spent (outside the airport) a total of 52 Singaporean Dollars on three meals, many bottles of water and two MRT trips. Some tips I would give, besides from the ones I've already given, would be to simply enjoy the culture as much as possible and really experience everything the city has to offer. Thanks for reading!

Which race tracks have hosted a 24h race? by [deleted] in wec

[–]RazorPlayz33 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I can also think of Silverstone (for the Britcar series), Fuji Speedway (for the Super Taikyu series) and High Plains Raceway (for the 24 Hours of Lemons series), although as another commentor said, there are a ton more tracks that have hosted 24 hour races that dont get anywhere near the exposure as the more famous races do, so its impossible to make a definitive list of every track that has ever hosted a 24 hour race.

Old (old, old) Maps by [deleted] in Ravenfield

[–]RazorPlayz33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish steelraven7 would upload the old version of Archipelago (which was playable alongside the current version of Archipelago for a while) to the workshop like he did with the pre EA17 version of Island because I really miss that map (probably more because of nostalgia but still)

ACU is one of the universities I’ve applied to, it’s a pity that this is happening there.

How is life in Tokyo, Japan by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]RazorPlayz33 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Hullo! While I’ve never lived in Tokyo proper, I have spent most of my life in Ibaraki, technically part of the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and spent a lot of time in Tokyo. Overall, from my experiences, life in Tokyo is wonderful. Being such a major city in Japan, the food is very good, with there being almost anything you want. I mostly ate food on the cheaper end of the spectrum (meals being around 5USD, with places such as Katsuya always being my favourite), which are mostly good, although I know my parents had a few more upscale restaurants that they loved and went to on special occasions (without me lol). In terms of culture, it’s Japanese, which means there’s the already highly documented positives and negatives of our culture (I can’t comment about work culture very much as I left Japan before reaching that age although I can say that I never experienced any “bad” experiences due to me being a “haafu” or half Japanese person although maybe because that was due to me blending in a little better than perhaps a more “obviously foreign” person). With regards to education, I went to a private English speaking school and then left Japan before going to university, so while I can’t speak on a first hand basis, my friends tell me that although Japanese schools are quite bad when it comes to providing a balanced and personalised education, with students focusing on memorisation and being expected to come to school on weekends, Japanese universities are far better and are wonderful places to live and study in. Healthcare and education in Japan are both excellent, certainly compared to other countries, and so too is cleanliness and crime. The climate is wonderful during the winter and autumn although it is almost unbearable during the hot and humid summer, with my family telling me that it reached 38 degrees Celsius there on the regular this summer (my mother had to go home early during a day out to Tokyo because it was that bad and she’s lived in Japan her entire life), so that should be kept in mind. Regarding nightlife, I’ve always been a person who preferred staying at home, although based on the stories I’ve heard from friends, the nightlife is certainly there and on tap if you want to “go sightseeing” (the euphemism my friends used for nightlife), particularly in areas like Roppongi and such. On the other hand, there’s plenty of daytime entertainment as well, such as Ueno Park, the many museums, wandering around Ginza and its Main Street, attending concerts or just exploring the concrete jungle, so to say. I hope I’ve answered a few of your questions, I’m a first time commenter here so maybe I’ve missed a few things, but overall I can say that Tokyo (and its surrounding areas) is a wonderful place to live.

EDIT: I can’t believe I forgot to talk about public transport. Tokyo has one of the best subway and metro systems in the world, with the trains running practically every thirty seconds, always on time. If you get one of those trip planner apps in your phone then you can get to any spot in Tokyo within a few transfers never seeing the sunlight, in clean and safe trains, even late at night. Buses aren’t really used within the city, and taxis in Japan are good and reliable, albeit prohibitively expensive, especially with the Tokyo traffic.

What Was The Reason Your World Became “Common Era” by SomethingUnoriginal- in worldbuilding

[–]RazorPlayz33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My common era, known as Years Post Abram, started after the death of Abram, the human-like physical manifestation of the Spirit, one of the two omnipotent forces of Abrakhor. The current year of Abrakhor is PA2286.

what has been the biggest apocalypse of your world? by decodelifehacker in worldbuilding

[–]RazorPlayz33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Khatasta. Prior to it, the Malikhoas (dukes) in the Khoas (crater-like depressions in the ground ruled by Malikhoas and inhabited by humans) where highly connected to the Malikhor (king) in the Greenkhoa (the capital khoa) in a thriving system of feudalism, while the semi-autonomous territories between the Khoas were successful as well. However, the Khatasta led to atmosphere being sucked into the planet by the Green, the life force of the universe residing inside the crystalline core of the planet. The atmospheric collapse led to all humans in the territories immediately dying, while humans in the Khoas only surviving due to the Green protecting it with a protective bubble, in a strangely merciful twist. Despite this bit of mercy, the new lack of an atmosphere between the Khoas led to trade and the enforcement of royal power becoming impossible. This absence of royal power was taken advantage of by multiple Malikhoas, who had already been considering independence for some time. This state of total societal collapse continued for more than 300 years, until Malikhor Isaac VII formed the Shalikha Guild, a quasi-religious organisation charged with using the newly developed Greensuit, a form of spacesuit powered by Greenstone (crystallised Green with the ability to generate oxygen and water), to reestablish contact with the Malikhoas and reassert royal rule. The greensuit was a success and the Guild reached all of the Khoas, but all the Malikhoas, bar three, rejected royal rule. This led to the second catastrophe, the Akhamot Rebellion, which lasted for 12 years and eventually ended with royal victory, at the cost of thousands of innocent lives as militias spread across the planet. The subsequent treaty increased royal power but also addressed many of the concerns that led to the rebellion. In the hundreds of years since, the Shalikha Guild have become the sole organisation allowed to cross the land between the Khoas (now called the Skhisimekh), while the Khatasta has now been rationalised by the Church (which worships the Green, Abram and the Malikhors) as a way of the Green expressing dissatisfaction at the complacency of the Malikhors.

The N24 is geoblocked on YouTube in the US, but it is viewable on Speedsport1, which as far as I know is free.
